“This was our first time having an overnight pet sitter in our home and Gabby was fabulous! We were kept up to date and got lots of pictures of our pooch throughout the weekend. We will definitely do this again!”
“Luke was incredible! We were gone for 5 days, entrusting our large, high energy, chaotic dog and 2 cats with Luke. Luke kept us apprised of any issues, while also fostering a sense of trust. I highly recommend Luke!”
“Alexys took such good care of our cats and dog! She's caring, pays attention to the details, and left our house in perfect condition. We're definitely booking her right now for our next trip.”
“We’re so glad Anthony was able to stay with our little dog while we were out of town! He kept us updated the entire time and it was easy to relax on our vacation knowing Sunny was in great hands.”
“Quanece and Malik were great--once again! They are very good with our quirky and anxious animals. They communicate as needed and treat your home like they would their own. Very clean and respectful of the space. We will absolutely use them again and again. No complaints!”
“I had a 2 week trip planned before deciding to adopt my foster dog. I was nervous to leave her as she was newer to my home. Christina did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of her! Walks, treats, play time and frequent updates with photos. I would highly recommend Christina for your pet sitting needs. She's the best and my dog Lucy loves her!”
“Olivia was great! My pets all seemed very happy when she sent pictures, and our house was in great shape when she left. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Lily did a great job caring for Trudy! She was attentive and very receptive to all of the specifics I had shared with her. She stayed with Trudy at my place, and Trudy was definitely in very good care with Lily!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various sizes. I like to have play time with animals as frequent as possible. All animals deserve love and attention. I work full time Monday to Thursday. So my weekends are ready for play time with your pet. I like to stay active so taking your pet out to enjoy nature will be a blast. If I’m not in the gym on my spare time then I’m definitely cuddled up with a puppy. I have puppy friends for your pet to have a play date outdoors. I care for pets at my clients home because I’m willing to make the commute.
“Vanessa is a true animal lover! She does what is asked, sticks to the routine and gives 100% attention to the babies! Our babies loved her right from the second they met her! I highly recommend Vanessa!”
“One of the most important things when our family goes away is making sure we have a caring, responsible sitter for our dog, Bucky. Alyssa is amazing! We can go away and be certain that Bucky will be loved and cared for! We highly recommend her!❤️”
“Misha was great! We could tell that our dogs were as good as ever when we got back - they were very well taken care of, even with our feeding routine, which is a little bit out of the ordinary. She spent a lot of time hanging out at the house with the dogs, which is what we really want for them when we are gone for a few days, and knowing they had company made it much easier for us to enjoy our getaway. We never needed to worry about them at all. We would love to have Misha stay with our babies again in the future!”
“SirJahad was a fantastic housesitter for my 5 month old puppy and cat. He sent plenty of pictures and detailed messages over the three days we were away. He followed our instructions and took our rambunctious dog on several walks daily.”
About: I love meeting new pet parents and taking care of their dogs! I love going on walks, so why not take the dogs with me😊 I have two dogs myself and since I’m away at college really makes me miss them. I hope I get to meet yours!! I am very flexible with different times of the day, but also specific days as well. Mainly free in the mornings and mostly anytime before two. I take special care of anyone’s dogs! Very friendly and loving to all. By taking the time to meet the dog and create a nice relationship.
“Sky is wonderful. They were so caring and thoughtful with our pets, and noticed some things about their care that we'd overlooked. We are really grateful to have found Sky!”
“Dana is amazing!! He is incredibly kind and reliable. He always gives very prompt updates on walks. I was very anxious about leaving my dog for the first time but he really took such good care of her that I could actually relax during my vacation. Trust that your fur baby will be in good hands with Dana :) I highly recommend him 10/10”
“Nicolle was fantastic. We were in a pinch for a sitter and she checked all the boxes and left our apartment just as we left it. Great pairing for our slightly anxious dog. Highly recommended!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pennsauken
We had such a great experience with Lauren! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly took great care of our dogs while we were away. She kept us updated and sent pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and would definitely have her watch our dogs again!
Emily came through once again for Mr. Max! I felt so bad because I had just gotten him a new brand/flavor of chews and they just did not mix well with Max's belly, so Emily had to deal with a puppy with bubble guts! But Emily took it in stride, even made some white rice for him and by the next day he was back to his high energy, zoomie running, constant tug of war self. Thank you Emily for making this puppy mom feel at ease!
Jessica was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond taking care of our three pups, including two seniors with some special needs, and we felt completely comfortable having her stay in our home. She was incredibly thorough, asked lots of great questions, and made sure she understood all of their little routines and quirks. We really enjoyed having her and came home to three very happy, well-cared-for dogs. We would absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house sitter!
I've had Peter petsit for a year or two now, and he's fantastic. He's responsive, timely, trustworthy, and communicative. You can tell he really cares about the animals and treats them like family. Peter goes above and beyond, and he's helped us with a crisis or two while we were out of town. He did really well with my reactive dog (who loved him despite being aloof with most people) as well as my new puppy. Peter is my go-to for pet care and once you hire him, I'm sure he'll be yours too!
Alexandria was so great with my dog Neko. She was affectionate and caring with her, and she communicated well with me, to make me feel at ease for leaving her. Alexandria followed all my instructions and was very friendly and personable too. I also really like that she was able to be at my house with my dog for almost the whole stay. That's a very big plus when you have a dog with separation anxiety! I would definitely book her again!
Sarah was fantastic! She did such a great job with our dog. He has some special needs and Sarah was on top of everything. She spent a lot of time with him, played with him and sent us a lot of updates. She was very quick to respond to all of my communications. I look forward to having her watch our dog again when we need to travel.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pennsauken is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,455 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pennsauken. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pennsauken walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pennsauken maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Pennsauken choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
